The post about orange filters on films to indicate a place is foreign reminds me though, it definitely FEELS more... More in Los Angeles and Phoenix on certain days in the summer. It's not just the heat because I've lived almost exclusively in hot places (orz) but something about the sheer TEMPERATURE of existence makes the colors feel extra luminous? i guess? I don't know how to explain it so I can't form it into a question either. Maybe it has something to do with like... UV factor... or smth... or the heat boiling the blood in my eyes
Always hilarious to watch people on posts about the "yellow filter in the Middle East/Mexico in films" thing say smth like "well you don't know maybe it's just an artistic intention you're not a color grader"
Hi. I'm a color grader. It's not an artistic intention it's just racist. You're welcome.
I don't want to get into the entire history of color grading (not in this post anyway), but there are a limited number of reasons to put a "yellow filter" on a film's image.
First off I'd like to point out that the words "yellow filter" are misleading. You can have a warm color palette to convey heat or a sense of familiarity, you can have a sort of "aged" sepia tint to indicate that a scene takes place in the past, you can warm up the lower lights and shadows in your image to create the illusion of an earlier time in the day or a sunset...
It is in fact possible to have a scene with a predominantly warm, even yellowish color temperature, without it looking like the government is pumping agent orange into the atmosphere. When western films just slap a yellow or orange filter on the image with no symbolic or diegetic reasons, and they only do it in Arab/South-American/African countries, it's just racism.
And before anyone pipes up saying "what if it's just because it's warmer there" - if the heat is not important to the film and is not shown in any other way, it's just racist. places where it's hot are not in fact, more orange.
